The organic Sicilian ancient grain Perciasacchi Boniviri spaghetti are made using sustainable, non-intensive farming practices. Perciasacchi, a rustic and fiber-rich variety, gives the pasta an intense flavor, a hearty texture, and natural digestibility.
Handcrafted and bronze-drawn, these spaghetti are ideal for those seeking healthy, traceable food connected to the biodiversity of the region.
Ancient grains are a particular type of non-genetically modified wheat, called so to distinguish them from "modern" wheats, which are all those wheat types that over time have been modified by humans to meet the needs of the food industry. The variety used to make the Reginette is called Perciasacchi (Khorasan), from the Sicilian "perciare," meaning to pierce, because the pointed shape of the grain caused holes in the jute sacks used for transport.
For cultivating this ancient wheat, the technique of crop rotation is used, alternating wheat and legumes to ensure better soil fertility. These grains also grow over six feet tall, naturally combating weeds without the need for pesticides or fertilizers.
Perfect with simple dressings based on extra virgin olive oil, seasonal vegetables, or rustic sauces, to bring a good, authentic, and sustainable dish to the table.
Stone milling and low-temperature processing preserve the nutritional properties that are otherwise damaged in industrial processes: mineral salts, polyphenols, antioxidants and carotenoids.
Ancient grains contain more fiber , which helps control the glycemic index.
Lighter and more digestible, our pasta contains less gluten than modern wheat, which when consumed every day can have inflammatory effects* .
Ancient grains have in fact been the subject of study at the University of Bologna by the group led by Professor Dinelli. The study found a nutraceutical value superior to that of modern wheat.
*Not suitable for intolerant people and celiacs.
Made with passion
Ancient grains, clean methods, artisanal care: here is our recipe.
- Protection of biodiversity and ancient Sicilian grains: we preserve the agricultural memory of the territory, renouncing modern high-yield hybrids to preserve flavor and nutritional benefits.
- Organic farming since 2001: without the use of pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers, respecting the soil and aquifers. The rotation between cereals and nitrogen-fixing legumes naturally enriches the land.
- Cold storage: after harvesting, the wheat is stored at a controlled temperature. The cold protects from mold and insects, without the use of chemical agents, and keeps the nutritional and organoleptic properties of the grain intact.
- Ancient washing technique: before milling, the wheat is carefully washed with water. This ancient technique removes all impurities and softens the grain, preparing it for a more delicate and respectful processing.
- Stone milling: stone milling does not overheat the flour and preserves the wheat germ, the part richest in nutrients, intact.
The result is a lively, nutritious and tasty pasta.
